I Had An Unfortunate Mishap... Don't Let This Happen To You!

The only boats I've ever owned have been inflatables...
I have learned to sail in very small barcs like Sunfish.
Fun!, but surely prone to capsizing and loosing stuff😳

Putting An Iconic Old Poster To Good Use...

BooksAndArticles

Anyone read this book?
![](https://m.stacker.news/51398)
And here's an interesting, brief commentary on it:

https://www.amazon.com/review/RC0R225GYLP3J

I've browsed the book and watched some of the available videos that (to me) have no conventional explanation; particularly massive steel girders seemingly vanishing into dust in realtime...???

More info here -> https://www.amazon.com/dp/0615412564

One thing is utterly clear; 'twarn't Arab-piloted commercial jets flying into two towers that brought them down, and somehow magically [**completely collapsed Building Seven...**](https://ine.uaf.edu/wtc7)

The WHOLE thing stinks to high heaven.

On 9-11 itself, watching the TV footage, it was obvious to me that the entire narrative was a fabric of lies.

But then again, I'd already been discounting most of the BS that the state promulgates for at least a decade prior to 9-11...

Truth be told, I **WANT** the technology that, when directed at any matter, cancels the chemical/atomic bonds holding its molecules together. Growing up, reading Science Fiction, we called those things [**"disintegrators."**](https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Disintegrator_ray) My first application would be to use it as what I'd call a "rock knife." Imagine being able to, in a carefully controlled fashion, convert solid granite into powder? I would use such a device to carve a comfortable home into a lovely local cliff-face WITHOUT all the tedious, dangerous, and expensive chiseling, jack-hammering, and blasting.

Wouldn't it be nice if humans used advanced technology for GOOD purposes, instead of murder and mayhem?🤔🧐😀👍

"Asymmetric Liberty" - A Ballad Honoring Satoshi

Thanks!
I'm pumped picturing you and friends listening...😆

Hey Friend,

Thanks for listening, and for the suggestion!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and now you've got me thinking about a video...🤣

Hey Plebs,

I wrote a ballad and entered it in a "Bitcoin Record" contest run by this year's **bitcoin2024 conference**  in Nashville.

My song is an homage to **Satoshi Nakamoto**, celebrating one of the ***core technologies*** that make bitcoin possible.
https://wavlake.com/track/6f20f4fa-fd25-49e1-aae3-fec18f73c6cd
The audio is rather rough—it was a "last-minute" entry—but the lyrics have a lot to say about bitcoin and the state of the fiat clown-world we're living in these days...

I was surprised and pleased that at one point, **"Asymmetric Liberty"** reached **#7** on the Wavlake top 40 chart! 😳 🤔 😆
![](https://m.stacker.news/51271)
Although my composition did not win a track on the contest's vinyl record, it ***did*** earn me an Industry Pass to bitcoin2024. I had a blast at the conference, met some very cool folks (including several nostriches), and I learned a lot. And—*I could scarcely believe this*—while in Nashville, I actually (and quite accidentally) discovered that someone I was talking to was a "fan" who had heard and enjoyed "Asymmetric Liberty." This was *more than* surprising; I've never been "famous" like that before!

Here's a copy of the lyrics (**NOTE:** they might vary slightly from the audio version...):

I hope you enjoy "Asymmetric Liberty!" 🙏🏻😆 Won't you let me know what you think in the comments below?

Which part of "Thou Shalt Not..." does the state not understand?🤔

Of course, bitcoin ***fixes*** this. 🙏🏻😀💖

I've just applied for a trip to the Moon with SpaceX; ***Let's Freakin' GO!***🚀

Hey, Friend,

Thanks so much for your kind wishes!🙏🏻😆

Engineers Gave a Mushroom a Robot Body And Let It Run Wild

StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears

Ever read [**"The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet"**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316125407) by Eleanor Cameron?
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mlEaR8YuL._SY522_.jpg
A great read when I was a boy... I wouldn't mind reading it again.😆

I try to ignore the man and just enjoy some of the results...

[**SpaceX**](https://www.spacex.com/) seems to have recently opened the floodgates for more of us *homo sapiens* to venture out of this world.

Have a look at [**this page**](https://www.spacex.com/humanspaceflight/) on the SpaceX website. There, you'll find enticing videos, graphics, and teaser-texts encouraging you to book your flight and "Join A Mission."

According to the page, *"Seats and on-orbit research opportunities available starting late 2024,"* and available destinations include Earth Orbit, the International Space Station, the Moon, and Mars.

Though I would love to go ***everywhere*** they offer, my destination of choice is **the Moon**. Visiting Luna has been a dream of mine since early childhood, and I'm not about to stop dreaming now.
![](https://m.stacker.news/51013)
If you click on the "JOIN A MISSION" button, you'll be taken to a simple application page. You must "CONFIRM" that you are not providing false or misleading information, but there is a subtle hint that slight deviations from reality COULD be overlooked under the right circumstances:

> *"Regardless of the information that you provide, SpaceX may still be able to work with you."*

Hoping to inspire YOU to throw your space helmet into the ring, here's the example of my entry in a box provided for sharing a mission objective:

> *I'm a storyteller/poet who has been reading Science Fiction since the 1st grade. My all time favorite? **"The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress"** by Robert Heinlein. Walking on its surface—wearing a jaunty SpaceX suit—will fulfill a life-long dream. The experience is sure to inspire literary works that will in turn doubtlessly  bless and inspire my fellow man. An inventor and engineer, I've also no doubt that participating in a lunar mission would inspire new concepts and devices of benefit  to all mankind.*

https://www.spacex.com/humanspaceflight/assets/images/hls_artemis_iii.jpg

Yes, the Moon is my destination; it's real, it's distant but not so far away that I would have to abandon my family—literally, for YEARS—as would be the case were I to choose Mars. Besides, we can simply lift up our heads and see it. I look forward to lifting my head on its dusty surface and looking back at Earth.

Besides, the SpaceX spacesuits are really cool!

https://www.spacex.com/humanspaceflight/assets/images/the-suit-new.png

You can also submit a research proposal to do science in space:

> *"SpaceX is looking for exceptional science and research ideas that will enable life in space and on other planets."*

While it's fairly evident (reading between the lines) that many/most of these "opportunities" come with a price tag for the ticket, I have to believe that—in order for SpaceX to ultimately reach their objectives—they will be recruiting some from among the flood of applicants that will no doubt apply through this web page.

As for me personally, ***Will anything come of this?***

FYI, I also applied for [**"Dear Moon,"**](https://dearmoon.earth/) (*sadly, recently cancelled!*) though I was soon passed up in the selection process. 😢

We shall see, but as the saying goes, **"Nothing Ventured—Nothing Gained."**

Let me know if I have any fellow dreamers out there?🤔🧐😆 And *keep looking up.*

Hey, @Bitcoinisawesome,

Thanks for the forwarded zaps; you've bootstrapped my ability to interact here.🙏🏻😀

And, now that I know ***SN*** supports markdown, next time (if there is a next time) I do an edit job for someone, I'll include some helpful markdown syntax.😆
